Update:-
The Day Date and Hublot F1 are in UK as of Friday, so may finally get 'em this coming week
Bought another PAM, just the watch head and strap screw bars, a PANERAI Luminor Marina 359 "Dirty Dial", very very nice at it's price point new strap for it is en route, and it's all running fine for the last few days and keeping good time....
Also, going back a while I bought a Breitling Top Time Shelby Thunderbird edition, wanted to get the Shelby Mustang version, havent yet found one, but up popped a Shelby Cobra Top Time, so I bought that one should be here around Tuesday ....
Busy busy busy with outside works on going, shit tons of concrete coming this week to lay some bases / fit ACO Drains acroos front of Car Port, and for the Pussy Cats playground, I'm also gonna concrete the inside floor of the car port, will be doing it's 3 car bays in 3 sections, with drainage channels between them flowing into the ACO's.
I'm cutting and installing the Fascia Boards for car port today, then installing all the guttering, Car port now has all lighting and power sockets finished, also a PIR Halogen for coming home late at nite, and Hose Reel, will also add an Airline from the workshop system for pumping tyres etc.
Still filling out forms etc from my retirement date earlier in the year

Just got Royal Mail Tracking update on the Rolex Day Date and the Hublot F1, should be in my mitts tomorrow
As predicted, the Rolex Day Date President arrived, took me a while to work out how to set it ....
Also arrived was the F1 Hublot in Rose Gold, the little details on this are fantasmagorical, like the bezel which represents a drilled carbon brake disc on a vented metal backing, its dial is pretty stunning too ....
And the Breitling Top Time Shelby Cobra should arrive tomorrow as it was posted out from UK this morning

Ahhh, well, another update ....
I simply had to buy the Corvette Top Time and the Mustang as I got a great offer from a buddy on here, will be a while I expect since both are coming direct from the factory, but there are spare cabinet spaces waiting for them to arrive ....

Was pretty AWOL yesterday until late on, Friday night it was showering with rain right until early hours over my freshly laid concrete base (4.8 m x 2,4m x 100mm) Hadn't covered the bugger because it was glorious weather with no bloody rain forecast, went to hot tub and then bed early.
I think it has survived as early yesterday morning the rain was getting heavier so I got soaked rushing to build a tent structure outta a few 4x2's and a long metal bar, luckily I also had a huge poly sheet, so I had it covered before the rain turned to absolutely pissing down
Woke to sunshine early this morning and clear skies atm, so I removed all the tent shit and re brushed it, only the very last mix in the corner is still a little soft but the rest has dried enough to carefully walk on it , worst case I think is may have to do a thin pour of levelling compound depending what kinda flooring my wee angel wants to put in it
I'll leave it the fuck alone now, and will have a definitive answer by Tuesday

Tidy job that.
Tidy job that.
Thank you kind sir
I've laid a fair few in my time, as well as concrete bases
I'm not a builder even though I've built a fair few buildings including my block built 2 storey workshop, hot tub wet room extension at this house, several garages, loads of sheds, a double garage size car paintwork booth, heated and filtered positive pressure with variable speed extract system and even the 40ft x 16ft 2 bedroom 2 bathroom log cabin you see next to our hoose in the picture.
When I say I built them, I mean from foundations, drainage, plumbing and electrical wiring, roofing, doors, windows, stud walls, kitchens, bathrooms etc etc yak yak yak
The only things I never did was painting and decorating, up until a couple of years ago, I've now also started doing exterior paintwork, the problem up here is finding decent tradesmen
There are the odd few who are very good, but they tend to be all busy building houses and selling them, any others are either bodge it, overcharge and scarpers or piss heads who say they will turn up but never do because the pub is more important

It's always good to have the can do attitude and fair play to you for having a go, I can't be arsed these days and I understand your problems getting decent tradesmen where you live. I was impressed that you brushed it.
Was out to lunch on Saturday and the guy at the next table was rocking a Pan like that, my guess it was gen, they usually are around here!Update:-

And here they are, arrived yesterday, so I now have all 4 of the Breitling Top Time American Muscle Car / Shelby collection which comprises of the Thunderbird, Cobra, Mustang and Corvette editions, unless someone can tell me there are any more IDK about
Thunderbird and Cobra ....
I know there are a couple of classic Motorbike ones, Triumph and Deuce IIRC, but since I've only ever been into Superbikes the classic old bikes don't really inspire me, lol, gimme a 196 rwbhp ZX12R any day
